        Well, I've seen a lot worse advice on here. Avoiding any A-B products is sage advice in my POV.
        I'm just here for the baseball.

          Player update from tribe - Cubs game

          As mention not many regular played.

          Heyward played. Didn't do anything special but at least didn't look helpless at the plate.

          Chisinhall ran into the fence and jammed his shoulder came out of the game. Zimmer replaced him and beat out a grounder to short for an infield hit.

          Carrasco look pretty decent but only pitched 3 innings

          Rizzo is a big mofo - but can be fooled with off speed stuff.

            Day 3 tribe vs White Sox
            Highlights- homer fest for the Sox
            Tomlin on the mound- gave up 4 homers
            Abreu hit one
            Jacob May hit one - not a bad reserve or 1 dollar flyer

            Indians took the lead and had a 7 - 6 lead with bases loaded and 2 outs - Danny Hayes hit a Grand slam homer

            White sox have some huge players.

              For the tribe:
              Linder return
              Brantly still looking healthy
              Bradly Zimmer ripped one off the wall for 2 rbi triple
              Abe Almonte came in and had a single- continue being my �� Dark horse flyer player
              Carlos Santana rips a homer

              Still no Andrew Miller

              Tomorrow first non tribe game.
              Angels and Royals - hopefully a Trout siting!!!!

                Angels - Royals
                Raul mondasi is very fast...
                Mike trout is a stud.
                Albert looks a little rolly-Polly but he still stole a base.
                Billy Burns looks like he is 12
                Angels have no pitching

                I can't understand (esp in spring training) why lefties who come up don't figure a way to hit it to left. Almost every lefty I saw come up just had to poke or bunt down the 3 rd base way and they would have a hit if not a double. They could hit 500 if they could figure that out.

                Angel stadium no extra for fans. No music, no mascot, no in between inning contest a big fat Zip.

                  Bunting fair and not straight back to the pitcher against major league pitching isn't an easy task, but yes, with practice, I agree with you. Although once they demonstrate that they can do that, teams will keep the third baseman home.

                      That kind of my point. I would be pissed if I faced a shift ALL the time I would make them pay . Hosmer has been the only one I have seen hit one to left. Today early in the game Calhoun was up with runner on first and the third baseman was deep and way off the line I can't believe a ML player can't just push one down that way. Do it enough time the book woul be play him straight up.

                      I saw Carlos Santana rip a ball between Second and first just to have the real second basemen who was playing a short right field throw him out.

                          Quick question - why not more night games at spring training . I think I know the answer but have a bet with my siblings. It is much cooler and nice to watch the game at night then in the blazing heat of the day.

                            Just got back from the tribe - Cubs game. This time around most of the players played.
                            No Brantly but I didn't really expect it.
                            Lester vs Salazar. Both look good
                            Lester had 1 bad inning compounded by his not being able to hold anyone on( Ed Perez stole a base on him)
                            Salazar look good vs everyone except Contreras the catcher who hit 2 homers off him.

                            Had an Andrew miller sighting - mowed down Bryant , Rizzo and Baez in his inning of work.

                            Abe Almonte continued his hot hitting - Homered

                            Austin Jackson look decent.

                            Kris Bryant stud
                            Schwarber didn't do much.

                            Best part Tribe won again!!!!!!
